How To Find And Capture The Fairy In Rune Factory 5

Rune Factory 5 leaves you with cryptic details and leaves you off on your own. With wanted monsters, the game gives you a general area, and you must find it. The Fairy in Rune Factory 5 is one such creature that is difficult to discover unless you know where to look.

Fairy in Rune Factory 5 location

The Fairy in Rune Factory 5 is one of the first wanted creatures you can capture. To start the process, talk to Livia at your HQ and she’ll begin the mission for you. The game tells you that the Fairy is in the central region of the Phoros Woodlands but doesn’t leave any other details.

The Phoros Woodlands is to the east of the main village of Rigbarth. You can teleport there quickly by going to your map with the – button and pressing Y.

Once you’re there, start running ahead of you towards a tower. At the second right of the path, turn right. Keep going down this road; if you see chickens on the path and cow-like creatures on the left, you’re in the right place.

After taking out a few insects, you’ll be crossing a bridge over the water. After getting back to land, take an immediate left up the hill. Run forwards until you see a small pond on the right. You’ll find the fairy in Rune Factory 5 at this location.

When you fight the fairy, make sure you don’t get rid of all its health. Otherwise, the mission will have to be activated at your HQ once more. Instead, use your capture device when the fairy’s health is low, just like the Pokémon series.

However, you don’t want to simply press ZL to capture the Fairy. You’ll want to hold on to the button to increase the capture device’s power and then release it. Wait until it goes to a lighter shade of green and becomes bigger before letting go. A red reticle will also show up.

Once you’ve captured the fairy in Rune Factory 5, return to your base. Press the – button and press the X button warp home in an instant. Talk to Livia to complete the quest. You’ll gain one Farming Bread as a reward.
